How Does an Infrared Paint Stripper Work?
The IR Paint Stripper uses infrared energy to heat the paint layers. As the coating heats, the bond between the paint and the underlying surface can weaken, allowing you to lift and scrape away the softened paint. For best results, work in manageable sections and allow the infrared heat enough time to penetrate the paint. Your ideal working time will depend on the type of paint, number of layers, and surface you’re working on. Heat. Soften. Scrape. Repeat.

What About Lead Paint?
Infrared paint removal can be an excellent alternative to aggressive sanding because it can help reduce the amount of fine dust generated during paint removal. However, infrared technology does not make lead paint harmless. If you are working on an older surface that may contain lead-based paint, follow applicable EPA lead-safe work practices, including proper containment, personal protective equipment, cleanup, and disposal procedures. Always test your surface and follow appropriate safety procedures before beginning a paint removal project.
